But what about the things that aren\u2019t yet in your field of view? Technology is getting more advanced, and now,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/my.avnet.com\/abacus\/solutions\/markets\/automotive-and-transportation\/automotive\/comfort-infotainment-and-safety\/automotive-radar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">automotive radar systems<\/a>\u00a0can detect objects as they approach the vehicle\u2019s path. The systems sound the alarm even before there\u2019s anything for you to see and avoid.<\/p><p>Alternative Power Sources<\/p><p>Electric vehicles are already old news in the automotive space, but they\u2019re not the only gas-alternatives to consider anymore (though more electric vehicles are in the works). Over the next year, it\u2019s expected that Honda, Toyota, and Hyundai will all have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/features\/a41103863\/hydrogen-cars-fcev\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hydrogen-powered options<\/a>\u00a0added to their line-ups.<\/p><p>Autonomous Capabilities<\/p><p>This is probably the technology that\u2019s been getting the most attention in this sector lately. Numerous manufacturers are working toward autonomous vehicles, though it\u2019s unclear exactly when a functional model will be on the market. However, steps are being taken to automate certain aspects of driving \u2013 including hands free driving and parking. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Self-driving_car\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a> no system has achieved full autonomy (SAE Level 5) yet, but several companies are working on it.&#8221;<\/p><p>Composite Materials<\/p><p>More and more vehicles are incorporating lightweight yet strong\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/compositesmanufacturingmagazine.com\/2015\/11\/2050-motors-bulletproof-all-carbon-fiber-electric-vehicle-now-in-the-us\/\">composite materials like carbon fiber<\/a>. As fuel efficiency becomes increasingly important to drivers and manufacturers, lighter vehicles that can still withstand crash tests are gaining demand. Carbon fiber is an extremely durable option that reduces the weight of the car, and in some cases, is even bullet proof. The benefits are many, and automotive manufacturers are taking note and incorporating these materials into more models.<a class=\"in-cell-link\" style=\"font-family: Roboto, Arial; font-size: 10pt;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/technology\/2015\/12\/21\/new-year-to-bring-new-car-tech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hydrogen-powered options<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Technologies and Materials Revving Up the Automotive Industry Every year, car designs and capabilities seem to get more and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":15654,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-automotive"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cabww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cabww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cabww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cabww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cabww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3491"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cabww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3491\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cabww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cabww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cabww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cabww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
